Chapter 7: The Grandfather

Disclaimer: I Don't own Naruto.

There was a heavy silence over the three especially after that heartbreaking goodbye between two close friends. Naruto couldn't think of anything to comfort the pinkette with and neither could Kiba.

Hinata hid her emotions pretty well so he could barely tell what she was thinking or feeling. His children well he wasn't sure how to comfort them once so ever. This was all new territory.

Kiba watched her closely at every stop light. She just stared out the window with sad murky green eyes.

Kiba cleared his throat loudly to grab the attention of Naruto. Kiba's eyes quickly shifted to Sakura silently telling Naruto to do something. "Sakura if you don't want to do this you don't have to." He heard an audible slap but paid no attention to it.

Sakura sighed and shook her head to clear her thoughts. She plastered a fake smile on her face which he could immediately see through. "It's fine Naruto it's not like I'll never see her ever again just not as much." Her false smile seemed to get smaller and smaller as every word came out of her mouth. "Besides I think it's time that Ino depended on herself instead of me." Naruto looked unsure for a moment before he did something totally unexpected.

He grabbed both of her shoulders pulled her close into an unexpected embrace. Kiba watched the exchange and was floored even more than Sakura.

Naruto couldn't remember the last time he hugged a woman that wasn't part of a movie. He liked it or maybe it was the person in his arms that made him like the hug. She wasn't hugging him back, but that was fine with him because she wasn't pulling away from his loose hold that got tighter as each second passed. "If you ever need something don't be afraid to ask me. Even if it's just something as small as a hug."

Her widened eyes slowly went back to their usual size as she got used to the hug and caught a whiff of his scent. He smelled nice and his scent comforted her especially when he said such nice things to her. Maybe she got her first impression of him wrong. She smiled in his shirt as he continued to hold her tightly and wasn't letting go anytime soon. "Thank you."

Kiba cleared his throat after a couple minutes of the two doing nothing but hugging. Naruto glared at him from the corner of his eyes, unfortunately, it was too late to shut Kiba up because Sakura was already pulling away.

She smirked at Kiba before picking on him. "Do you also want a hug Kiba-kun?" She said using the tone you use to talk to babies. Kiba glared at her in the mirror and almost missed the quiet and sad Sakura.

"Love you too." She chuckled while looking out of the window. She felt like herself again thanks to Naruto and his warm embrace, of course, she wouldn't ever tell him that or his ego might get even bigger.

Meanwhile, Naruto was frowning at the words that came out of her mouth. He wouldn't have thought much of the joke but he saw Kiba's cheeks turn a bit red. He would have to have a talk with Kiba later.

"Sakura the kids can't wait to see you they've been asking me about you ever since you left." He grinned as she laughed more.

"I didn't know they like me that much." He wanted to say something but thought otherwise since he didn't want to come on too strong.

"Of course they do you're not some big mean person you're very understanding and actually listen to the children." She stared dumbfounded at him but he didn't care. "You're the best I could have possibly hired.

"T-thanks Naruto." Before Naruto could say anything more they were already at the huge home. She didn't want to say anything but all the compliments from Naruto were making her feel slightly uncomfortable and of course flattered.
